Bournemouth duo Joe Partington and Mitchell Nelson have extended their loans with Eastbourne Borough by a further month.

Partington, who recently captained Wales' Under-21 side, has played three times for the Conference side despite being sent off in the 0-0 draw with Newport, while Nelson made two appearances before sustaining ankle ligament damage that has kept him out of the last three games. Cherries boss Eddie Howe told the Bournemouth Echo: "It is better for them to stay with Eastbourne and play games than to come back here to sit on the bench. "We are happy for them to remain there on the proviso that we can bring them back at short notice."
